Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions.
 Tens of thousands of earthquakes happen= take place every year. The vast=enormous majority
are so small that only scientific instruments can perceive them. Others are powerful
enough(adj+enough/enough+N) that people can feel them, yet they cause little harm or damage. More
powerful earthquakes, however, can cause buildings, bridges, and other structures to collapse. They
may additionally injure and kill thousands of people and might even cause the land to change its
appearance.
Since most of the Earth's surface is water, numerous earthquakes happen beneath the planet's
oceans. Underwater earthquakes cause the seafloor to move. This results in the displacement of water
in the ocean. When this occurs= happen= take place: diễn ra,xảy ra , a tsunami may form. This is a
wave that forms on the surface and moves in all directions from the place where the earthquake
happened. A tsunami moves extremely quickly and can travel thousands of kilometres .
As=because=since it=tsunami approaches land, the water near the coast gets sucked out to sea. This
causes the tsunamis to increase in height. Minutes later, the tsunami arrives. A large tsunami - one
more than ten metres in height - can travel far inland. As it does that, it can flood the land, destroy
human settlements, and kill large numbers of people.
Get suck st/sb into/out st:to become involved in a situation when you do not want to be
involved
